McCormick recalling some spice mixes sold in Minnesota

The spice giant McCormick and Company issued a voluntary recall of some spice mixes due to possible contamination with salmonella. 

The FDA says the company issued the recall on July 27 for its McCormick Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning, McCormick Culinary Italian Seasoning and Frank's RedHot Buffalo Ranch Seasoning. 

The affected products were shipped between June 20 and July 21 to more than two dozen states, including Minnesota.

The full list of affected date codes and product codes is available via the FDA's website here.

No illnesses have been reported. The potential risk was brought to McCormick's attention by the FDA during routine testing. 

McCormick has told grocery stores to remove the products with the affected date codes and destroy them. 

If you bought these products with the affected date codes, throw them away and call McCormick Consumer Affairs at 1-800-635-2867, weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. (central time) for a replacement or full refund.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses.
